ENJOY LEARNING! FEEL PRIDE IN YOUR SUCCESS!

My teaching style is more the cooperative, reasonable method that prevents problems. Children need to have lots of praise and rewards for their work and efforts. It promotes growth and encouragement. My students will realize that they have to really pay attention to learn and get it. Their study skills will include organizing, focusing and stretching their thinking to higher levels. This way they can go as far as possible for them and reach the moon!
I have a high level of qualifications and professionalism because of my extensive experience in Education, now over 25 years. My students were very important to me. I cared about them and their quality of Education. After becoming a Master Teacher, I was proud to represent the teachers of my state with Governor Cecil Andrus and statewide schoolboards. My students attained levels two to four and a half years above grade level on ... read more

Lion Tamer Tutor Rated Five Stars

My philosophy of tutoring is that the educational experience should be fun and enjoyable and that the skills we go through together stick and make it easier for the student to progress and excel.

My education includes a bachelor's degree in bioscience and a master's degree in business ethics. I have been tutoring for ten years working with elementary, high school and college students, adults and senior citizens.

An understanding tutor

I have worked with all grade levrls as substitute school teacher with range from pre k to 12th grade and worked for a tutoring company while turoring an elementary student in math. I have a masters degree and while obtaining my degrees, I am very familiar with test preparation. I have taken basic computer classes in the past and I am more than able to teach the basics such as how to save a file.
The teaching style that I have always promoted is to recognize that everyone learns on a different level and at a different pace. Therefore, a step by step instructor is needed and that instructor has to know how to meet that individual needs based on what they know not what I know. You find alot of college professors teach lessons based on what they know and their experience not realizing that the some students learn at different paces. I experienced this as both an undergraduate and g ... read more

I believe all children have a story which is vital to learning before good teaching can occur. I have discovered that different children require different approaches to learning, and I enjoy uncovering what these are and integrating different styles within the classroom. I believe in cultivating a close a partnership with parents by keeping them updated on progress and assisting them in developing a plan for home support. Teaching requires passion, endurance, patience, and flexibility. Children must understand that you care and believe in their ability to succeed, and I strongly believe that I am such a teacher.
For the past 7 years I have been teaching in a private school setting. Although classroom sizes are small, I am required to teach multiple subjects. This year, I taught 3-7 grade Latin, 5th and 7th grade social studies, 5th grade grammar and writing, and 5th gra ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I hold a M.A. in medical anthropology as well as a B.A. in cultural anthropology. Throughout graduate school I worked as a teaching assistant and upon graduation I taught biological and cultural anthropology courses for the University of Memphis's department of anthropology. The focus area of my graduate studies was child health; this resulted in working on numerous projects with elementary and middle school aged students. In the past I have volunteered with adult literacy programs and I feel equally comfortable teaching teens as well as children.
I love working with children; I began early on as a summer camp counselor for the Girl Scouts of America organization. Additionally I baby-sat throughout my undergraduate years and as mentioned child health became my focus during graduate school. I believe that learning is best achieved through tactile experiences that help the individual ... read more

Creative, innovative, and interesting lessons are my forte. I am experienced in providing a constructivist-based approach to knowledge acquisition. Hands-on lesson promote student involvement and increase the development of student responsibility towards their education. I have found that a cross-curriculum approach to the material being presented fosters true understanding and relevance.
I am a student of history and believe that knowledge acquisition comes from interest and enthusiasm on the part of the learner. This interest comes from having an instructor who them selves is a learner. A partnership in the tasks being presented usually results in the student wanting to understand the information and making connections. To promote critical thinking I present the material in a global manner, allowing the learner to relate the information/skill to the real-world.

I just recently retired after 32 years of teaching. Thirty years were in public school and two years were in private school. I am very familiar with the testing,depth of knowledge and skills needed to be successful in school. I have felt very rewarded in knowing I have helped students to become successful learners. Most of my time has been spent teaching 1st-3rd grade students,although I have spent a few years teaching 4th and 5th grade students as well. I feel I am very adept at teaching foundational skills in both reading and math.
I love teaching and working with all kinds of children. I feel my greatest strength is that I am a committed teacher who is anxious to help your child be successful at whatever subject I am teaching. I feel I am a flexible, hands-on teacher who believes that learning is a hands -on process that uses manipulatives,technology and sequential steps. I try ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I believe that teaching should be a collaborative process. The first step is to listen to the child and try to gain a sense of their own learning process. If you understand how the child learns, you will be better able to help him or her understand new concepts. I believe tutoring is invaluable in this regard, since it provides individual attention. Most classrooms are large, and ill-equipped to focus on each child's individual needs.
My tutoring began in high school, when I tutored younger students in any subject, from Math to English. I learned to love tutoring. I enjoy helping people to realize their full potential. The most rewarding part of tutoring, in my opinion, is the look on the child's face when something finally makes sense. I have obtained a BBA from the University of Toledo. While in college, I spent a year as a tutor and mentor to younger students, and to help teach ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I got a Bachelors in Early Childhooh education and had the priviledge of ebing in the classroom the last three years of college. I feel the experienced gained as a student in the field, gave me the security to succees when I graduated. I taught kindergarten and first grade and I am currently working at an administrative position at an Educational NGO. I feel I have gained important skills and I would like to go back with working directly with kids. It is truly a vocation.
I am an advocate of positive reinforcement. I believe all children can achieve their potential in different ways. Every student has a unique personality and strengths that can be used to develop their understanding and knowledge. The teacher has the power to set the environment and guide the student but it is in the opportunities and experiences that the teacher allows the student to explore, that each student st ... read more

I believe that every child has the potential to became very succesful, whether they catch on quick or take some time to learn. I have a knack for working with children who require a one to one learning style. I teach to the level that they are ale to acquire the information and build from there. I am a tough teacher yet fair and understanding. I keep teaching and pushing forward until I know that they have mastered the skill they are currently living. It warms my heart to see a student learn something new.
During my college experience it became apparent to me that I loved how the brain worked, which led to my love for teaching, especially the at-risk population. I began working with the autistic population at a private clinic in November of 2004 while going to school full time at the University of Houston. I then decided to become a teacher, where I went to ACT Houston, to obtain m ... read more
